EnumQueueReaderAgentSessions Method

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The EnumQueueReaderAgentSessions method returns a QueryResults object that enumerates execution status data about Queue Reader Agent sessions operating on the specified publication.

Syntax

object.EnumQueueReaderAgentSessions(lPublicationID,SessionType,SessionDuration,lEstimatedNumRecords )asQueryResults

Parts

  • object
    Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

  • lPublicationID
    Long integer that identifies the publication by ID.

  • SessionType
    SQLDMO_SESSION_TYPE constant that indicates the session type as described in Settings.

  • SessionDuration
    Long integer that specifies the number of hours. Restricts result set membership to those sessions launched within the specified number of hours. Use 0 to specify no restriction on agent session start time.

  • lEstimatedNumRecords
    Long integer that specifies the estimated number of QueryResults rows to return.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT EnumQueueReaderAgentSessions(
long lPublicationID, 
SQLDMO_SESSION_TYPE SessionType, 
long SessionDuration, 
long lEstimatedNumRecords,
LPSQLDMOQUERYRESULTS *ppResults);

Settings

Set SessionType using these values.

Constant

Value

When nonzero, indicates a Microsoft SQL Server error message number.

publication_id

integer

Publication identifier.

nvarchar(24)

Date and time at which agent session started.

status

integer

Queue Reader Agent status.

time

nvarchar(24)

Date and time of last logged message.

transactions_processed

integer

Cumulative number of transactions processed in the session.

Remarks

In the result set, date and time data returned in start_time and time are formatted as YYYYMMDD hh:mm:ss.fff.

Date part

Description

YYYY

Represents the year in four digits.

MM

Represents the month in two digits (zero padded).

DD

Represents the day of the month in two digits (zero padded).

The EnumQueueReaderAgentSessions method includes the lEstimatedNumRecords parameter, which allows an application to pass an estimated number of QueryResults rows. This allows the application to avoid the performance overhead associated with repeatedly allocating and freeing memory.

Note

If an application calls EnumQueueReaderAgentSessionson an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later" are returned.
